RAZOR.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 234,070, dated November2, 1880. Application filed July 9, 1880. (Model.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES J. J. SAD- LER, of Milford, in the countyof Pike and State of Pennsylvania, and PETER O. SADLER, of the city,county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Razor,of which the following is a specification.

The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved razor whichis simple in construction and provided with detachable blades which canbe removed and replaced conveniently and rapidly.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectionalelevation of our improved razore Fig. 2 is a perspective view of theblade of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional elevation of the frameand blade on the line ac 00, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g' parts. p Therazor-blade A is provided with a narrow longitudinal ridge, B, on itsbroad longitudinal edge or back 0, which ridge terminates at the upperend in a hook, D, projectin g toward the lower end of the blade, whereasthe lower end of said ridge projects beyond the lower end of the bladeA, and terminates in a beak, E, projecting toward the sharp edge of theblade A.

A metal frame, F, provided with a longitudinal groove, G, of the sameWidth as the longitudinal ridge B, is pivoted to the handle H in thesame manner as an ordinary razorblade.

A catch, J, provided with a projection, K, at its lower end and a beak,L, at its upper end, is pivoted in the lower end of the groove G, and isacted upon by a spring, M, attached to the frame F in such a manner thatthe beak L of the catch J engages with the beak E of 40 the ridge B,thereby preventing the blade A from being separated from the frame Funless the catch J is disengaged.

Several blades must go with each frame, for the great advantage of ourimproved razpr is that if one of the blades is blunted or dainaged itcan be removed rapidly and easily by pressing upon the projection K ofthe catch and then drawing the blade out of the groove G. A fresh sharpblade is then passed into the groove and is held by the catch J and thehook D.

We are aware that it is not broadly new to use detachable blades inrazor-holders.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination, with the longitudinallygrooved back frame, F, of theblade A, provided with a ridge, B, and hook D, and of the catch J andspring M, substantially as herein shown and described, and for thepurpose set forth.

2. The razor-blade A, constructed substantially as herein shown anddescribed, with a longitudinal ridge, B, terminating in the hook D, andbeak E on the back, as set forth.
